After the whole Circuit Breaker my body was aching for a massage. So i got a Fave voucher for E.Zone, for a full body massage at Tampines MRT. Booking for an appointment was easy but once I reached the outlet, they wanted me to wait for... 20 minutes as the room was not ready. 

The walls were thin and you can literally hear water pipes running in the treatment room so I would say if you want to fall asleep during your massage, it is impossible here. The masseur was dressed in her own clothes and she wasn't really putting in effort for the massage. 

On the bright side, they didn't really try to hard sell because I wanted to leave the place asap. Overall, I would say you are really paying for what you will get. I didn't expect much as I just needed a massage and there was one in Tampines. If you are particular about your massages, I won't recommend this place. 

If you are interested, you can get the voucher here. 

I had a great time at The Orchid Skin's boutique at Jewel Airport! Annabel attended to me and she was really patient and I had a great time learning more about the products. Generally, the products are all/mostly water based. Thus it is not sticky/greasy after application. Orchid extract is also infused in most of their products (as per their name), which acts as a natural anti-oxidant that moisturizes, soothes and conditions our skin.

I received the very popular Moisture TOK TOK Hand Cream, Crystal Aqua Sleeping Pack and Apple Soft Peeling Gel bundle pack.


Moisture Tok Tok Hand Cream ($7.50)



Unlike the normal hand creams, this hand cream is water-based gel and it turns into hydrating water droplets upon application! I'm not really a fan of hand creams (tho i receive a lot of hand creams as gifts) as I don't like it when my hands turn super oily and sticky.... Not ideal when you wanna work and your whole keyboard will be sticky as well... ew. So for this hand cream, your hands will not be sticky/oily after application. yay.

Crystal Aqua Sleeping Pack  ($21.50)



I think this is the best one yet, it is a water-based sleeping mask. It is absolutely not sticky at all - so no more sticky feeling when you apply your sleeping mask and you feel your pillow absorbing the mask more than your face. When I woke up, my face was smooth, moisturized and refreshed. Unlike some other mask which I applied and my face was still sticky the day after. :(

Apple Soft Peeling Gel ($13.50)



I looooove peeling masks! Feels so good removing all the dead skin on my face but do note that it is not recommended to use peeling mask/gels everyday. Use it every other day or every 3 days. With apple extract in this gel, it helps to remove dead cells with natural AHA formula to provide a clean and vitalised skin. It may also be used on other parts of your body!

Back to another nail salon from Fave, Kimiyo-G. I bought the Gel Manicure with Return Soak-Off + Classic Pedicure for 1 Person (2 Sessions) link here which was super cheap at like $38? And because my previous fave coupon was 'cancelled' as the salon went MIA, I got credits refunded so I only paid $10.50 for the coupon.

They have quite a number of outlets that you are able to redeem the session, I went to Eastpoint mall at Simei. I booked the session but I still had to wait a little when I was there, I waited for about like half an hour more but I was ok with waiting. The selection was quite standard, and by standard is like the selection you can get from HDL lol. However, I would say the service is quite good and there was wifi provided.

They weren't that pushy with their packages and no hard selling. As there was 2 sessions, I went to Changi Airport outlet for my second session at 9.30pm. The appointment was quite hard to book, most of the outlets were full when I wanted to do my nails. And you also had to book another a session just for soak off as well, which i thought was kinda stupid. But it is was ok, and I actually preferred this salon out of the many that I went for my nails!
